Keybind Server folders

I was wondering if there is a way to create keybinds for each created character?

It would work like this. You log on to a character and save the binds, the binds would be saved in a bind folder, for example:

City of Heroes/Keybinds (Folder)/(Server name)/(Character name)

I came up with this idea, cause I'm tired of having one keybinds file.

/bind_save_file filename

/bind_load_file filename

filename is in the format of filename.txt

Replace the word filename with a name you can remember for each character. It isn't set to load automatically with the characters but you can easily load the file each time you use the character.

I have a few using binds to load the file. It can probably be done with macros as well.

As TJ mentioned, there are the filename save and load commands that you can use.

Personally, I have saved all the things that *every* character uses as default. I have left certain keys "blank" specifically for movement and special powers.

Then, I have "stock" files for movement powers such as jump, fly or teleport (even have a set of files for jump/fly combo). These files are usually some form of rotating binds.

Then, I create individual character files for each character's special powers: Arti's file contains her armor toggles, Brigitte's file is for her kin powers, Bo's file has her binds for blastery goodness... etc.,.

I keep these files separate from the actual CoH folder.

For quick file loading, I've created a bind in the default file...
CTRL+B "beginchat /bind_load_file c:\CoH_binds\"
When I hit ctrl+b, it brings up the loadfile command string in the chat box; then all I have to do is fill in the blank at the end (jump.txt, or fly1.txt, or Arti.txt).

I have to admit, it was a while before I was brave enough to jump into creating custom bind files, but now I wouldn't trade the flexibility for nut'in.

.

Or use the option provided from the Key Bindings tab in the Options menu. It should be called something like "Save Default Bindings" or some such. Pick a character, save his binds, then they will auto-apply to new charcters as they are created.
